Description
Feijoada is Brazil's national dish, a hearty and rich black bean stew with various cuts of pork and beef. It’s a celebratory, slow-cooked meal often enjoyed on weekends with family and friends. The combination of beans and meats creates a deeply savory and complex flavor. It is traditionally served with rice, collard greens, orange slices, and "farofa" (toasted cassava flour).
A Taste of History
The origins of Feijoada are often debated. A popular theory is that it was created by enslaved people in Brazil, who made the stew from the less-desirable cuts of pork given to them by their masters. However, modern historians suggest it more likely evolved from European stews, like the French cassoulet, adapted with local ingredients. Regardless of its origin, it has become a symbol of Brazilian hospitality and culture.
